| Why it’s on the list | The fifth volume of The Expanse splits its crew up, sends each of them home, and then attacks Earth with stealth-coated asteroids dropped by a faction that has correctly identified the few chokepoints an interplanetary civilisation depends on — the series’ most direct treatment of a vast system held together by a handful of load-bearing parts. |
